SDGC participates in a Japanese Friendship Garden pop-up event in National City

Monday November 1, 2021


The San Diego Go Club – in an effort to increase its diversity – is participating in the San Diego Japanese Friendship Garden’s eight week Pop-up exhibit in National City, California. Hosted in the National City Chamber of Commerce building, JFG is exhibiting art and providing free cultural and educational programming including demonstration games and teaching of Go by SDGC volunteers.

National City is a city of 61,000, ten minutes south of downtown San Diego, with sizable Mexican, Filipino, and Chinese descendant populations. The SDGC is hoping to increase its membership of under-represented populations in the AGA.
